DAVEY
WHEN druids worshipped in the dim groves of "the oaks of God,'
men said that trees had souls. Today science has revealed to us a
new wonder in trees as living things-organisms that breathe, assimilate
food, grow, reproduce, suffer from disease, hunger and thirst. If you
do not protect them from their enemies, they die prematurely. Most
tree troubles can be corrected by real Tree Surgeons-if taken in time.
That is why to neglect your trees, to "put off" having them examined
and treated where necessary, is to invite their ruin. Decay is insidious,
and eats forward with grim progressiveness. It is frequently unappar
ent to the untrained eye. So with smothered roots, exhausted food sup
ply, lack of water, insect enemies, external diseases, structural weak
nesses,-to neglect them is generally fatal.
That, too, is why trees must be treated by men thoroughly schooled in
the science of saving trees as living things; why real Tree Surgery is
an exacting science of the highest order.
Davey Tree Surgeons are trained with rigid thoroughness. They have
an accurate scientific knowledge, great practical skill, and a love of
trees. Back of them is an organization of established stability, a gener
ation of ripe experience, and a fine tradition of conscientious service.
They will, by appointment, make a careful examination of your trees.
